KB Packaging stocks the Tornado brand of extruded polyester strapping.
This is a heavy-duty green polyester strapping that is stronger than polypropylene (plastic) strapping and is a safer alternative to steel strapping.
It does not stretch or rust and is suitable for very heavy loads. This strapping has a smooth finish and can be applied using either manual, battery-powered or pneumatic tools.
Plastic bottles are collected and sorted, recycled into PET flakes and manufactured into this 100% recyclable polyester strapping.
KB Packaging stocks Tornado extruded polyester strapping in one size. Plus, we supply all the strapping tools and accessories to re-tension your extruded polyester strapping.
Polyester (PET) strapping is a robust and reliable solution for securing heavy-duty loads, offering a modern and safer alternative to traditional steel banding. Manufactured from high-strength polyester material, PET strapping combines excellent tensile strength with superior elongation and recovery properties, allowing it to absorb shocks and maintain tension during transport and handling.
Often referred to as “synthetic steel,” polyester strapping is ideal for applications where strength, durability, and load stability are essential. Unlike steel strapping, PET will not rust, stain products, or pose the same safety risks during handling, making it a preferred choice across a wide range of industries including construction, timber, metal processing, logistics, and export packaging.
One of the key advantages of PET strapping is its ability to retain tension over time, even as loads shift or settle. This makes it particularly effective for securing heavy or compressible loads such as bricks, paving, timber, steel, and palletised goods. Its excellent shock absorption properties ensure that the strap remains tight and secure throughout the supply chain, reducing the risk of load movement or damage.
Our polyester strapping range is available in various widths, thicknesses, and strengths to suit different applications and equipment types. It is compatible with manual tools, battery-powered strapping tools, and fully automated strapping machines, providing flexibility for both small-scale operations and high-volume production environments.
In addition to its strength and performance, PET strapping is resistant to UV rays, moisture, and extreme weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor storage and international shipping. It also offers a more sustainable option compared to steel, as it is often recyclable and lighter in weight, helping to reduce transport costs and environmental impact.
Polyester (PET) strapping is the ideal choice for businesses that require a strong, safe, and cost-effective load securing solution. Explore our full range of PET strapping to find the right product for your application and improve the reliability and efficiency of your packaging operations.
